<br>
<p>Introduction to TxtWeb (<a href="http://www.txtweb.com">http://www.txtweb.com</a>) - developing SMS apps for billions. In this talk we will explore the TxtWeb platform, an open platform where anyone with a mobile platform can consume content (internet and txtweb only) by SMSing keywords to a national number, and receive a response over SMS. The platform providers ways to create content for the keyword via a txtweb site, and as an alternative a way to map the keyword to an external application that can service the keyword. Txtweb translates HTML content from the application to a format that is usable over SMS. Txtweb is available in India, USA and Canada. This talk with feature a few slides and also has code and demo of apps that be built with txtweb.

<p><span class="header2">About the Speaker:</span><br>
<br>
Manoj Bharadwaj is a software developer at Intuit. He has previously worked at Lulu, Peek, Adchemy and ThoughtWorks. 
</p><p>
Manoj, at Peek, worked for their startup in India and was the technical person in charge of launching a data only (email) device (http://www.getpeek.in). During that tenure he got fascinated with SMS and the potential of text messaging and had been exploring various ways of building apps that work over SMS. When he finally discovered txtweb he realized that this was the easiest platform with which a developer could SMS enable the apps they were developing and at no cost.  </p>
